I think you have just discovered one of the biggest drawbacks of Windows
ME.  Much of the older hardware (especially scanners) will not work on ME
with Win98 drivers.  The word that I've gotten from several of the scanner
makers is that they don't plan to spend programming time developing drivers
for their older equipment.  You may luck out and find a driver for the
Mustek 1200 III EP, but I wouldn't hold my breath.  I didn't see one at the
Mustek site:

so I doubt there is one.  Sorry, and good luck.
